Since 1969 three administrational bodies have governed SUU: the President's Council, Board of Trustees and ultimately the Utah Boards of Regents. The President's Council consists of eight top University administrators. These groups convene on a regular basis to discuss issues of top importance to the University and help advise the president on executive decisions. The Board of Trustees, created by the Higher Education Act of 1969, is an integral part of the Utah System of Higher Education. The Board of Trustees help facilitate communication between the institution and community, strengthen alumni traditions and goals, select recipient of honorary degrees, and implement and execute fundraising and developmental projects. The Utah Board of Regents is composed of 20 Utah residents, appointed by the governor for a six-year term, and oversees all institutes of higher education in the state of Utah.
